Re: (Fnord) Edupage, 10 September 1996
I'm preaching to the choir, but I can't resist.
From Edupage, 10 September 1996: A leading Clinton Administration official ... Michael Nelson, who adds that organized crime members are already some of the most sophisticated users of computer systems and strong encryption technology. In addition, computer crackers will pose a more significant threat.
The bad guys already have strong encryption. So why doesn't the Clinton administration immediately press for the widespread deployment of strong encryption to help defend us against the bad guys? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | "Lone Star" - My personal | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | choice for best movie of | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | 1996 | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
Ah, but first we make the use of non-escrowed crypto a felony. Then if the bad guys use it we can put 'em away for another five years. Simple. No, really. -Declan On Wed, 11 Sep 1996, Bill Frantz wrote:
